eshell uses its own prompt, IIRC. In shell-mode, you can redefine the
prompt interactively, once the shell is opened. Or you set the prompt in
your ~/.emacs_bash, see (info "(emacs)Interactive Shell")

It is a problem of cygwin I would say. If dired works properly, I
wouldn't change it. Do you have problems with dired because of this?
